However, it is said that the Wei lord Cao Rui ordered Zhang He to be the vanguard and fought with Sima Yi. On the one hand, he ordered Xinpi and Sun Li to lead 50,000 troops to help Cao Zhen. The two left according to the order. Moreover, Sima Yi led 200,000 troops out of the pass and set up camp, and asked the vanguard Zhang He to the tent and said, "Zhuge Liang was cautious in his life and did not dare to act rashly. If I used troops, I would first take Chang'an from Ziwu Valley, which would have been a long time ago. He was not unscheming, but he was afraid of having

I was defeated and refused to take risks. Now I must go out to the Xiagu Valley to take the Qicheng. If I take the Qicheng, I must divide the troops into two groups, and one army will take the Jigu Valley. I have issued a proclamation, ordering Zidan to refuse to defend the Qicheng, and if the soldiers come, I cannot go to fight. I ordered Sun Li and Xinpi to intercept the Jigu Road entrance, and if the soldiers come, I will attack them." He said, "Where should the general advance now?" Yi said, "I have always known that there is a road west of the Qinling Mountains, and the place is named Jieting; there is a sidewalk next to it.

One city is listed in Liucheng: these two places are the throat of Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang is not prepared and will advance from now on. I will take Jieting with you and look at Yangping Pass not far away. If Liang knows that I cut off the important road of Jieting and cut off the food route, then the Longxi area cannot be safe and will definitely run back to Hanzhong overnight. If he moves back, I will raise troops to attack him on a small road and win a complete victory. If he does not return, I will cut off all the small roads and guard them with soldiers. If there is no food for a month, all the Shu soldiers starve to death. Liang will be captured by me." Zhang He realized his great enlightenment and bowed to the ground and said, "The governor is the God of Calculation!" Yi said, "Although this is the case, Zhuge Liang is not as good as Meng Da. The general is the vanguard, so he should not advance lightly. He should tell the generals: follow the Shanxi road and probate far away. If there is no ambush, he can advance. If he is lazy, he will definitely fall into Zhuge Liang's plan." Zhang He was guided by the plan and led his army.

But Kong Ming was in Qishan Village and suddenly reported that the visitor from Xincheng had arrived. Kong Ming urgently called in and asked him, and told him in detail, "Sima Yi went twice and arrived in Xincheng on the eighth day. Meng Da was caught off guard. He was also responded by Shen Dan, Shen Yi, Li Fu, and Deng Xian: Meng Da was killed by the rioters. Now Sima Yi withdrew his troops to Chang'an. When he saw the Lord of Wei, he led his troops out of the pass and rejected my army." Kong Ming was shocked and said, "Meng Da was not intimate in his work, so he was sure to die. Now Sima Yi came out of the pass and must take Jieting and cut off my throat." Then he asked, "Who dares to lead his troops to guard Jieting?" Before he finished speaking, Ma Su, the army officer, said, "I want to go." Kong Ming said, "Although Jieting is small, the relationship is very important: Wan Jieting

If there is any loss, my army will be over. Although you are well-versed in strategy, there are no cities and no obstacles here, so it is extremely difficult to defend it." Su said, "I have been familiar with military books since I was a child and knows the military strategy. Is it impossible to guard Yijieting?" Kong Ming said, "Sima Yi is not an idle person; there is also a vanguard Zhang He, who is a famous general of Wei: I am afraid that you will not be able to fight him." Su said, "Don't tell Sima Yi and Zhang He, that is Cao Rui's personal visit, what's wrong with you? If there is any loss, I want to behead the whole family." Kong Ming said, "There is no joke in the army." Su said, "I would like to make a military order." Kong Ming followed it, and Su wrote a military order. Kong Ming said, "I will give you 25,000 elite soldiers, and I will send another general to help you."

I immediately called Wang Ping and said, "I have always known that you have been cautious all your life, so I have entrusted you with this important task. You can be careful and careful in this place: you must be a key road to get off the enemy, so that the bandits should not sneak through. After the camp was completed, I drew four to eight geographical shapes. I originally thought about it. I will stop and go easily. If there is no danger in guarding it, it is the first achievement of Chang'an. Beware of it! Beware of it!" The two bowed and led their troops away. Kong Ming thought, afraid that the two of them would have made mistakes, so he called Gao Xiang and said, "There is a city northeast of Jieting, which is listed in Liucheng, which is a remote mountain road. You can station troops and camp. With you ten thousand soldiers, go to this city to camp.

.But Jieting is dangerous, you can lead troops to rescue him." Gao Xiang led his troops away. Kong Ming thought again: Gao Xiang is not Zhang He's opponent, so he must get a general, and station troops on the right side of Jieting before he can defend him. So he called Wei Yan to lead his troops to the rear of Jieting. Yan said, "I am the front, and it is reasonable to defeat the enemy first, why should I put someone in a peaceful place?" Kong Ming said, "The vanguard defeats the enemy is a matter of a side. Now, let you approach Jieting, and go to the important roads of Yangping Pass to guard the throat of Hanzhong: This is a great responsibility, so why should you be at ease? Do not look at it casually and lose my major affairs. Be careful!" Wei Yan was overjoyed and led his troops away.

Kong Ming was relieved and called Zhao Yun. Deng Zhi said, "Now Sima Yi sent troops, which is different from the past. You and the two of you each led an army out of Jigu, thinking that they were suspicious of the troops. If you meet the Wei army, you may fight or not, which would be shocked. I will lead the army and take the city from the Xigu path. If you get the city of Jigu, Chang'an can be broken." The two were ordered to leave. Kong Ming ordered Jiang Wei to be the vangu and the troops went out of Xigu.

But Ma Su and Wang Ping and his two soldiers arrived at Jieting and saw the terrain. Ma Su laughed and said, "Why is the Prime Minister too concerned? How dare the Wei soldiers come when they look remote in this mountain?" Wang Ping said, "Although the Wei soldiers dare not come, they can go to the camp at the five general entrances; but they ordered the soldiers to cut wood into a gate for a long time." Su said, "Is the road the land to go to the camp? There is a mountain on the side, and there are no connections on all sides, and the trees are very wide. This is a dangerous place for heaven: you can station troops on the mountain." Ping said:

"I am not in charge of the army. If you station troops in the road and build a city wall, there will be 100,000 soldiers, and you cannot steal it. If you abandon this important road and station troops on the mountain, if the Wei soldiers suddenly arrive and surrounded them from all sides, how can you protect them?" Su laughed and said, "You really have a woman's view! The military strategy says: look down at the high position, and the momentum is like chopping bamboo. If the Wei soldiers arrive, I will teach him a piece of armor and never return!" Ping said, "I have followed the Prime Minister's sutra formation. Wherever he goes, the Prime Minister will give him advice. Now looking at this mountain is a dead end: like the Wei soldiers.

The way of drawing water is cut off, and the soldiers will be in chaos without fighting." Su said, "Don't mess with the way of trashing! Sun Tzu said, "If you put it to death, you will live. If the Wei soldiers cut off my way of drawing water, wouldn't the Shu soldiers fight to the death? One can be regarded as a hundred. I have always read military books, and the Prime Minister still asks me about everything, how can you stop each other!" Ping said, "If the army wants to go down a camp on the mountain, you can divide the troops and me, and go down a small camp in Shanxi to take the horn. If the Wei soldiers arrive, they can correspond." Ma Su refused. Suddenly the mountain was in the mountains.

The residents of the middle were rushed in groups and reported that the Wei soldiers had arrived. Wang Ping wanted to resign. Ma Su said, "Since you don't obey my orders, you will go to the camp with you 5,000 soldiers. When I defeat the Wei soldiers, you will not be able to get the credit in front of the prime minister!" Wang Ping led his troops ten miles away from the mountain to the camp, and drew a picture book. Xingye sent someone to report to Kong Ming, saying that Ma Su went to the camp on the mountain. However, Sima Yi was in the city and ordered his second son Sima Zhao to explore the road ahead: If there were troops to defend Jieting, he would not be able to control the troops.

Sima Zhao was ordered to search and returned to his father and said, "There are soldiers guarding the Jieting." Yi sighed and said, "Zhuge Liang is really a god, I am not as good as me!" Zhao laughed and said, "Why did my father lose his ambition? It is easy to take the Jieting." Yi asked, "How dare you make such a big statement?"

Zhao said, "The man saw it personally. There was no village on the road. All the troops were stationed on the mountain, so he knew it could be broken." Yi was overjoyed and said, "If the soldiers were on the mountain, I would succeed!" So he changed his clothes and led more than a hundred cavalry to see it himself. It was clear that the sky was clear and the moon was bright, and it was patrolling around him before he returned. Ma Su saw it on the mountain and laughed and said, "If he had a decree, he would not come to surround the mountain!" He sent the generals: "If the soldiers came, they would only see the red flags on the top of the mountain, and they would all go down from all sides."

But Sima Yi returned to the camp and asked someone to inquire about which general led his troops to guard Jieting. He replied: "It is Ma Su, the younger brother of Ma Liang."

Yi laughed and said, "I am just a false reputation, but I am a mediocre person! How can Kong Ming use such a person not to mislead things!" He asked again, "Is there any other army on the left and right side of Jieting?" He reported to the horse, "There is a Wang Ping'an camp ten miles away from the mountain." Yi ordered Zhang He to lead an army to stay at Wang Ping's way. He ordered Shen Dan to lead two troops to surround the mountain and cut off the water road first; wait for the Shu soldiers to turmoil, and then take advantage of the momentum to attack him. The dispatch that night was decided. The next day, it was dawn, and Zhang He led his troops to the back first. Sima Yi

The army and horses rushed forward and surrounded the mountain. When Ma Su looked on the mountain, he saw the Wei soldiers all over the mountains and the flags and teams were very strict. When Shu soldiers saw it, they were all scared and dared not go down the mountain. Ma Su rushed the red flag, and the army pushed each other and no one dared to move. Su was furious and committed suicide. The two generals were frightened and had to work hard to go down the mountain to fight against the Wei soldiers. The Wei soldiers remained unmoved. Shu soldiers retreated up the mountain again. Seeing that things were not harmonious, Ma Su taught the army to guard the gates and waited for outside responses.

But Wang Ping saw that the Wei soldiers arrived and led his army to kill him. He was about to meet Zhang He. After more than tens of battles, Ping was exhausted and lonely, so he had to retreat. The Wei soldiers were trapped from Chen to Xu. There was no water on the mountain and the army could not eat. The camp was in chaos. At midnight, the Shu soldiers in Shannan opened the gate of the camp and went down the mountain to descend to Wei. Ma Su could not stop it. Sima Yi also sent fire along the mountain, and the Shu soldiers on the mountain became more and more chaotic. Ma Su expected that he could not defend it, so he had to drive the remaining soldiers to kill and flee to Shanxi. Sima Yi put a big road and let Ma Su pass by Ma Su. Zhang He led his troops to chase him. After reaching more than thirty miles, the drums and horns in front were ringing, and a slaughter in front came out to let Ma Su go and stop Zhang He. He looked at him,

It was Wei Yan. Yan swung his sword and horse to take Zhang He. He returned to the army and left. Yan drove his troops and seized Jieting again. He rushed to more than fifty miles, and shouted, and the ambush soldiers on both sides came out: Sima Yi on the left and Sima Zhao on the right, but he was trapped in Gaixin. Zhang He came back, and the three troops were united in one place. Wei Yan rushed left and right and could not escape, and most of the soldiers were broken. In the critical moment, a Biao army suddenly rushed in, which was Wang Ping. Yan was overjoyed and said, "I have been born!" The two generals joined forces and killed for a long time. The Wei soldiers retreated. When the two generals rushed back to the camp, there were flags of Wei soldiers in the camp. Shen Dan and Shen Yi came out of the camp.

.Wang Ping and Wei Yan rushed to Liliucheng to attack Gao Xiang. At this time, Gao Xiang heard that Jieting had made any mistakes, so he raised all the soldiers from Liliucheng and came to rescue him. He met Yan and Ping and told the story of the past. Gao Xiang said, "Why not go to rob Weizhai tonight and restore Jieting again." At that time, the three of them had decided to discuss under the hillside. When it was late, the troops were divided into three groups. Wei Yan led his troops to advance first and went straight to Jieting. No one was seen. He was very suspicious and did not dare to advance lightly. He was waiting at the intersection. Suddenly, Gao Xiang's soldiers arrived. The two of them said that the Wei soldiers were not sure where they were. They ignored it, but Wang Ping's soldiers arrived. Suddenly, a cannon sounded, and the fire shot up into the sky, shaking the earth: Wei

The troops came out together and surrounded Wei Yan and Gao Xiang in Gaixin. The two of them clashed and could not escape. Suddenly, they heard the shouts from behind the hillside, and Yi Biao's army rushed in. It was Wang Ping who saved Gao and Wei and rushed straight to Liliucheng. When they rushed to the city, a army had arrived on the side of the city, and the words "Guo Huai, the governor of Wei" were written on the flag. It turned out that Guo Huai and Cao Zhen discussed with Cao Zhen, and they were afraid that Sima Yi had achieved his full contribution, so they divided Huai to get Jieting. When they heard that Sima Yi and Zhang He had accomplished this, they led their troops to attack Liliucheng. They met three generals and killed them for a long time. There were many injured soldiers in Shu. Wei Yan was afraid that Yangping Pass would be in trouble, so he panicked with Wang Ping and Gao Xiang came to Yangping Pass.

But Guo Huai collected the army and said to his left and right, "Although I cannot get Jieting, I have taken Lieliu City, which is also a great achievement." He led his troops to the city and called the gate. He saw a cannon sound on the city, and the flags were all raised. He was on his head and wrote a large flag, writing a letter to "Pingxi Governor Sima Yi".

Yi held up the hanging board, leaned against Ding and protected his heart, laughed and said, "Why did Guo Boji come late?" Huai was shocked and said, "Zhongda Shenji, I am not in time!" So he entered the city. After meeting, Yi said, "Jieting has been lost, Zhuge Liang will leave. You can quickly chase Zidan and chase him at night." Guo Huai followed his words and left the city. Yi called Zhang He and said, "Zidan, Boji, I am afraid that I will win all the great achievements, so I came to take this city. I am not just trying to succeed, but I am just lucky. I believe that Wei Yan, Wang Ping, Ma Su, Gao Xiang and others must go to Yangping Pass first. If I go to get this Pass, Zhuge Liang will definitely

Then he blocked his killing and made a plan. The military strategy said: Don’t hide the troops from the return army, and don’t chase the enemy. You can raid Jigu from a small way to retreat. I will lead my own troops to the Xigu army. If they are defeated and gone, they should not refuse each other. It is only appropriate to intercept the Shu army and the baggage can be obtained in the middle." Zhang He received the plan and led half of the troops away. Yi ordered: "Seigu and advance from Xicheng. Although the Xicheng is remote and small county, it is the place where Shu soldiers station grain. It is also Nan'an, Tianshui, and the three counties can be settled. If you get this city, the three counties can be restored." So Sima Yi stayed Shen Dan, Shen Yi guarded Liucheng, and led a large army to look at Xigu.

However, Kong Ming said that after he ordered Ma Su and others to guard Jieting, he was hesitant. Suddenly, Wang Ping sent someone to send a picture book. Kong Ming called in, and left and right presented it to the picture book. Kong Ming opened it on the desk and looked at it, and slapped the table and said, "Ma Su was ignorant, and he was trapped in my army!" The left and right asked, "Why did the Prime Minister be shocked?" Kong Ming said, "I looked at this picture book, lost the important road, and occupied the mountain to become a village. If the Wei soldiers arrived, they surrounded the water and cut off the water-gasing road, and it would not take two days to go, and the army would be in chaos. If Jieting was lost, how can we return?" Chief Yang Yijin said, "Although I am not talented, I would like to return for Ma You." Kong Ming gave Yang Yi to Yang Yi one by one the methods of setting up camp. Just as he was about to go, he suddenly reported the horse to come and said, "Jieting, Liucheng, are all lost!" Kong Yijin said, "Although I am not talented, I am willing to return for Ma You."

Ming fell down and sighed, "The big thing is gone! This is my fault!" He urgently called Guan Xing, and Zhang Bao said, "You two each led 3,000 elite soldiers to go to the Wugong Mountain path. If you encounter a Wei army, you should not attack them, but only shout and shout, and be surprised by the doubts. He should go on his own, and he should not chase them. When the army retreated, he would go to Yangping Pass." He also ordered Zhang Ji to lead the army to repair the Jiange to prepare for the way back. He also sent orders to secretly pack up his luggage to prepare for the journey. He also ordered Ma Dai and Jiang Wei to cut off the rear, and first lie in the valley. When the troops retreated, they would withdraw their troops. He also sent his confidants to report to Tianshui, Nan'an and Anding the officials, soldiers and civilians of the three counties, all of whom entered Hanzhong. He also sent his confidants to Ji County to move Jiang Wei's mother and sent them to Hanzhong.

Kong Ming had already decided to transfer five thousand soldiers to Xicheng County to transport grain and grass. Suddenly, more than ten times of Pegasus report, saying, "Sima Yi led a large army of 150,000, and looked at the west city to swarm!" At that time, Kong Ming had no generals, only a group of civil servants. Half of the five thousand soldiers were divided into half, and only 2,500 troops were left in the city. When the officials heard the news, they were all disgraced. Kong Ming climbed the city and looked at it, and it turned out that dust soared into the sky. Wei

The troops were divided into two groups and Wang Xicheng County. Kong Ming sent a command to "all the flags and flags are hidden; all the soldiers guarded the city and pavilions. If there were any erratic moves and go in and out, and those who spoke loudly, behead them! Open the four gates, and each gate used twenty soldiers to pretend to be the people and sweep the streets. If the Wei soldiers arrived, they should not move without any action. I have a plan." Kong Ming then put on a crane cloak and a lumber scarf, and led the two children to carry a piano, and sat in front of the enemy's tower up the city, burned incense and played the piano.

But Sima Yi came to the city and saw this, and he did not dare to advance. He urgently reported to Sima Yi. Yi smiled but did not believe it, so he stopped the three armies and looked at it from afar. As expected, Kong Ming was sitting on the city tower, smiling, burning incense and playing the piano. There was a boy on the left, holding a sword in his hand; there was a boy on the right, holding a tail in his hand. There were more than twenty people inside and outside the city gate, who lowered their heads and sweeping around. As if there was no one. Yi looked at it and was very suspicious, so he went to the central army to teach the rear army to be the front army, and the front army to be the rear army,

Looking at the northern mountain road, he retreated. The second son Sima Zhao said, "Is it because Zhuge Liang has no army and is doing this? Why did his father retreat?" Yi said, "Liang has been cautious all his life and has never been in danger. Now, there must be an ambush when he opens the city gate. If my soldiers advance, they will be trapped. How can you know? You should retreat quickly." So both soldiers retreated. Kong Ming saw the Wei army gone away and smiled. All the officials were shocked, so he asked Kong Ming, "Sima Yi is a famous general of Wei. Now he commands 150,000 elite soldiers here. See here.

After the Prime Minister, he retreated quickly. Why? Kong Ming said, "This man believed that I was cautious in my life and would not be in danger. Seeing this, I suspected that there were ambushes, so I retreated. I did not take risks, but because I had to use it. This man must lead the army to the small road north of the mountain. I have ordered Xing, and Bao and the other two were waiting there." Everyone was surprised and said, "The Prime Minister's opportunity is unpredictable. If someone sees it, he will abandon the city and leave." Kong Ming said, "My soldiers are only 2,500, if I abandon the city and leave,

You must not escape far away. Can you not be captured by Sima Yi?" Later generations praised the poem: "Yaoqin beats the heroic army three feet away. When Zhuge retreated to the enemy in Xicheng, 150,000 people returned to the horse. The natives were suspicious until now." After speaking, they clapped their hands and laughed, saying, "If I were Sima Yi, it would be inconvenient to retreat." Then they ordered the people of Xicheng to follow the army to enter Hanzhong; Sima Yi would definitely come back. So Kong Ming left the Xicheng and looked at Hanzhong. Tianshui, peaceful, and officials, soldiers and civilians from the three counties of Nan'an came one after another.

But Sima Yi walked on the small road of Wugong Mountain. Suddenly, behind the hillside shouted to kill Liantian, and the sound of drums shook the earth. Yi looked back at the two sons and said, "If I don't walk, I will definitely fall into Zhuge Liang's plan." He saw an army coming on the main road, and the flag was written on the large flag, "The right guard was appointed General Hu Ji, Zhang Bao." The Wei soldiers all abandoned their armor and threw their swords and walked. After less than a journey, the shouts in the valley shook the earth, and the drums and horns were noisy. There was a big flag in front of him, and wrote "The left guard was appointed General Longxiang, Guan Xing". The valley responded, and I didn't know how many Shu soldiers were. In addition, the Wei army was suspicious and dared not stop for a long time, so they had to abandon all the baggage and leave. Xing, Bao and the two of them followed the orders of the generals, and did not dare to pursue them, and they got more military equipment and food and came back. Sima Yi saw that there were Shu soldiers in the valley, so he did not dare to leave the main road, so he returned to Jieting.

At this time, Cao Zhen heard that Kong Ming had retreated, and quickly led his troops to chase him. A cannon sound behind the mountain, and Shu soldiers came all over the mountains: The leader was Jiang Wei and Ma Dai. Zhen was shocked. When he retreated, the vanguard Chen Zao had been beheaded by Ma Dai. Zhen led the troops and rats to flee and returned. The Shu soldiers all rushed back to Hanzhong overnight. However, Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi were ambushing the troops in the Jigu Road. When Kong Ming heard that the orders returned to the army, Yun said to Zhi: "The Wei army knew that my troops were retreating, so they would come to chase him. I first led an army to hiding behind him, but the Duke led his troops to attack my banner and retreated slowly. I had escorts step by step.

But Guo Huai brought his troops back to the Jigu Road, and called the vanguard Su Yan to give up and said, "Shu general Zhao Yun is invincible. You can be careful. If the army retreats, there must be a plan." Su Yan said happily, "If the governor is willing to respond, he will capture Zhao Yun alive." So he led three thousand soldiers in the front and rushed into Jigu. He saw that the words "white red flags flashed behind the hillside, and wrote "Zhao Yun" to him. Su Yan quickly withdrew his troops. He walked a few miles away and shouted loudly. A blew army ran out: The leader general, he jumped on his horse with his gun and shouted, "Do you know Zhao Zilong?" Su Yan was shocked and said, "Why are there Zhao Yun here?" He was caught off guard and was stabbed to death by Yun's shot. The rest of the army was dispersed.

Yun moved forward, and another army arrived behind him, and it was Wan Zheng, the general of Guo Huai. Seeing that the Wei soldiers were chasing him, Yun pulled his horse and stood at the intersection, waiting for the general to confront him. The Shu soldiers had been more than 30 miles away. Wan Zheng recognized that it was Zhao Yun and did not dare to advance. Yun waited until dusk, and then he turned back his horse and advanced slowly. Guo Huai's soldiers arrived, and Wan Zheng said that Zhao Yun was as brave as before, so he did not dare to approach. Huai ordered the military commanders to hurry up, and hundreds of cavalry and heroes rushed to come. When he arrived at a big forest, he suddenly heard a loud shout behind him, "Zhao Zilong is here!" More than a hundred Wei soldiers were caught off guard, and the rest were all over the ridge. Wan Zheng forced the enemy to come, but was shot into the helmet and tassel by Yun with an arrow, and fell into the stream. Yun pointed the gun at him and said, "I spare your life and go back! Let Guo Huai come!" Wan Zheng was out of his way

He returned with his orders. Yun escorted the chariots and horses, and looked at Hanzhong and saw that there were no loss along the way. Cao Zhen and Guo Huai seized three counties again, thinking that they were his merits. However, Sima Yi divided his troops and advanced. At this time, all the Shu soldiers returned to Hanzhong. Yi led one army to Xicheng. When asked the residents and the remote hidden people in the mountains, they all said that Kong Ming had only 2,500 troops in the city, and there were no military generals, only a few civil officials, and there were no ambushes. The common people in Wugong Mountain said, "Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, each of them, had three thousand troops, and they were circling the mountain and shouting, shouting, and chasing, and there were no other troops, so they dared not fight." Yi regretted that he was not as good as Kong Ming, and then sighed, "I am not as good as Kong Ming!" So he appeased the officials and civilians in various places, led their troops back to Chang'an, and met the Wei Lord. Rui said, "Today, they have all the counties in Longxi, and they are all the achievements of you."

Yi reported, "Now all the soldiers in Shu are in Hanzhong, and they have not been completely wiped out. I beg the troops to collect Sichuan and repay Your Majesty." Rui was very happy, and ordered Yi to raise troops. Suddenly, one of the people in the ban reported, saying, "I have a plan to ensure that Shu surrenders to Wu."
Chapter completed!
